< Isaaya 1 >

1 Okwolesebwa kwa Isaaya, mutabani wa Amozi, kwe yafuna okukwata ku Yuda ne Yerusaalemi mu bufuzi bwa Uzziya, ne Yosamu, ne Akazi ne Keezeekiya, bassekabaka ba Yuda.
The visioun, ether profesie, of Ysaie, the sone of Amos, which he siy on Juda and Jerusalem, in the daies of Osie, of Joathan, of Achas, and of Ezechie, kyngis of Juda.
2 Wulira ggwe eggulu, mpuliriza ggwe ensi, kubanga bw’ati Mukama bw’ayogera nti, “Nayonsa ne ndera abaana naye ne banjeemera.
Ye heuenes, here, and thou erthe, perseyue with eeris, for the Lord spak. Y haue nurschid and Y haue enhaunsid sones; sotheli thei han dispisid me.
3 Ente emanya nannyini yo n’endogoyi emanya ekisibo kya mukama waayo, naye Isirayiri tammanyi, abantu bange tebantegeera.”
An oxe knew his lord, and an asse knew the cratche of his lord; but Israel knewe not me, and my puple vndurstood not.
4 Woowe! Eggwanga erijjudde ebibi, abantu abajjudde obutali butuukirivu, ezzadde eryabakola ebibi, abaana aboonoonyi! Balese Mukama banyoomye Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri, basenguse bamuvuddeko bamukubye amabega.
Wo to the synful folk, to the puple heuy in wickidnesse, to the weiward seed, to the cursid sones; thei han forsake the Lord, thei han blasfemyd the hooli of Israel, thei ben aliened bacward.
5 Lwaki mweyongera okujeema? Mwagala mwongere okubonerezebwa? Omutwe gwonna mulwadde, n’omutima gwonna gunafuye.
On what thing schal Y smyte you more, that encreessen trespassyng? Ech heed is sijk, and ech herte is morenynge.
6 Okuva mu mala g’ekigere okutuuka ku mutwe temuli bulamu wabula ebiwundu, n’okuzimba, n’amabwa agatiiriika amasira agatanyigibwanga, okusibibwa, wadde okuteekebwako eddagala.
Fro the sole of the foot til to the nol, helthe is not ther ynne; wounde, and wannesse, and betyng bolnynge is not boundun aboute, nether curid bi medicyn, nether nurschid with oile.
7 Ensi yammwe esigadde matongo, ebibuga byammwe byokeddwa omuliro, nga nammwe bennyini mulaba. Bannamawanga balidde ensi yammwe, era ezise kubanga bannaggwanga bagisudde.
Youre lond is forsakun, youre citees ben brent bi fier; aliens deuouren youre cuntrei bifore you, and it schal be disolat as in the distriyng of enemyes.
8 Omuwala wa Sayuuni alekeddwa ng’ensiisira esigadde mu nnimiro y’emizabbibu, ng’ekiwummulirwamu mu nnimiro y’emyungu, ng’ekibuga ekizingiziddwa.
And the douytir of Sion, `that is, Jerusalem, schal be forsakun as a schadewynge place in a vyner, and as an hulke in a place where gourdis wexen, and as a citee which is wastid.
9 Singa Mukama ow’Eggye teyatulekerawo bantu abatonotono abaasigalawo twandibadde nga Sodomu, twandifuuse nga Ggomola.
If the Lord of oostis hadde not left seed to vs, we hadden be as Sodom, and we hadden be lijk as Gomorre.
10 Muwulirize ekigambo kya Katonda mmwe abafuzi ba Sodomu! Musseeyo omwoyo eri okuyigiriza kwa Katonda waffe mmwe abantu b’e Ggomola!
Ye princes of men of Sodom, here the word of the Lord; and ye puple of Gommorre, perseyue with eeris the lawe of youre God.
11 “Ssaddaaka enkumu ze munsalira zingasa ki? Nkooye endiga ennume enjokye eziweebwayo, so sisanyukira musaayi gwa nte, newaakubadde ogw’abaana b’endiga, newaakubadde ogw’embuzi ennume,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Wherto offren ye to me the multitude of youre sacrifices? seith the Lord. Y am ful; Y wolde not the brent sacrifices of wetheris, and the ynnere fatnesse of fatte beestis, and the blood of calues, and of lambren, and of buckis of geet.
12 Bwe mujja mu maaso gange, ani aba abayise ne mujja okulinnyirira empya zange?
Whanne ye camen bifore my siyt, who axide of youre hondis these thingis, that ye schulden go in myn hallys?
13 Mulekeraawo okuleeta ssaddaaka zammwe ezitaliimu; obubaane bwammwe bwa muzizo gye ndi. Omwezi Ogubonese ne Ssabbiiti n’enkuŋŋaana zammwe zijjudde obutali butuukirivu.
Offre ye no more sacrifice in veyn; encense is abhomynacioun to me; Y schal not suffre neomenye, and sabat, and othere feestis.
14 Emyezi gyammwe Egibonese n’embaga zammwe ez’ennaku entukuvu, emmeeme yange ebikyaye, binfuukidde omugugu, nkooye okubigumiikiriza.
Youre cumpenyes ben wickid; my soule hatith youre calendis and youre solempnytees; tho ben maad diseseful to me, Y trauelide suffrynge.
15 Bwe munaayimusanga emikono gyammwe musabe nnaabakwekanga amaaso gange, era ne bwe munaasabanga ennyo siiwulirenga kubanga emikono gyammwe gisaabaanye omusaayi.
And whanne ye stretchen forth youre hondis, Y schal turne awei myn iyen fro you; and whanne ye multiplien preyer, Y schal not here; for whi youre hondis ben ful of blood.
16 Munaabe, mwetukuze muggirewo ddala ebikolwa byammwe ebibi gye ndi, mulekeraawo okukola ebibi.
Be ye waischun, be ye clene; do ye awei the yuel of youre thouytis fro myn iyen; ceesse ye to do weiwardli, lerne ye to do wel.
17 Muyige okukola obulungi, musalenga emisango n’amazima, mudduukirirenga abajoogebwa, musalenga omusango gw’atalina kitaawe, muwolerezenga bannamwandu.
Seke ye doom, helpe ye hym that is oppressid, deme ye to the fadirles and modirles child, defende ye a widewe.
18 “Mujje nno tukubaganye ebirowoozo,” bw’ayogera Mukama; “ebibi byammwe ne bwe biba ng’olugoye olumyufu binaafuuka byeru ng’omuzira, ne bwe binaaba bitwakaavu nga langi emyufu enkwafu, binaatukula ng’ebyoya by’endiga.
And come ye, and repreue ye me, seith the Lord. Thouy youre synnes ben as blood reed, tho schulen be maad whijt as snow; and thouy tho ben reed as vermylioun, tho schulen be whijt as wolle.
19 Bwe munaagondanga ne muwulira, munaalyanga ebirungi eby’ensi;
If ye wolen, and heren me, ye schulen ete the goodis of erthe.
20 naye bwe munaagaananga ne mujeemanga ekitala kinaabalyanga,” kubanga akamwa ka Mukama ke kakyogedde.
That if ye nylen, and ye terren me to wrathfulnesse, swerd schal deuoure you; for whi the mouth of the Lord spak.
21 Laba ekibuga ekyesigwa bwe kifuuse ng’omwenzi! Oyo eyasalanga emisango mu bwenkanya! Obutuukirivu bwatuulanga mu ye, naye kaakano batemu bennyini nnyini!
Hou is the feithful citee ful of dom maad an hoore? riytfulnesse dwellide ther ynne; but now menquelleris dwellen ther ynne.
22 Effeeza yo efuuse masengere, wayini wo afuuse wa lujjulungu.
Thi siluer is turned in to dros, ether filthe; thi wyn is medlid with watir.
23 Abafuzi bo bajeemu, mikwano gya babbi, bonna bawoomerwa enguzi, era banoonya kuweebwa birabo; tebayamba batalina ba kitaabwe, so n’ensonga za bannamwandu tebazifaako.
Thi princes ben vnfeithful, the felowis of theuys; alle louen yiftis, suen meedis; thei demen not to a fadirles child, and the cause of a widewe entrith not to hem.
24 Noolwekyo kyava ayogera Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye, ow’amaanyi owa Isirayiri nti, “Ndifuka obusungu ku balabe bange, era ne nesasuza abo abankyawa.
For this thing, seith the Lord God of oostis, the stronge of Israel, Alas! Y schal be coumfortid on myn enemyes, and Y schal be vengid on myn enemyes.
25 Era ndikukwatamu n’omukono gwange, ne nnoongoosereza ddala amasengere go gonna ne nkuggyamu ebitali birungi byonna.
And Y schal turne myn hond to thee, and Y schal sethe out thi filthe to the cleene, and Y schal do awei al thi tyn.
26 Era ndikomyawo abalamuzi bo ng’olubereberye n’abo abakuwa amagezi, nga bwe kyali okusooka. Olwo olyoke oyitibwe ekibuga eky’obutuukirivu, ekibuga ekyesigwa.”
And Y schal restore thi iuges, as thei weren bifor to, and thi counselours, as in elde tyme. Aftir these thingis thou schalt be clepid the citee of the riytful, a feithful citee.
27 Sayuuni alinunulibwa lwa bwenkanya, n’abantu baamu abalyenenya mu butuukirivu.
Sion schal be ayen bouyt in dom, and thei schulen bringe it ayen in to riytfulnesse;
28 Naye abeewaggula n’abakozi b’ebibi balizikirizibwa wamu, n’abo abava ku Mukama Katonda, balimalibwawo.
and God schal al to-breke cursid men and synneris togidere, and thei that forsoken the Lord, schulen be wastid.
29 “Kubanga mulikwatibwa ensonyi olw’emiti mwe mwenyumiririzanga, n’olw’ennimiro ze mweroboza.
For thei schulen be aschamed of idols, to whiche thei maden sacrifice; and ye shulen be aschamid on the orcherdis, whiche ye chesiden.
30 Kubanga mulibeera ng’omuvule oguwotoka era ng’ennimiro etaliimu mazzi.
Whanne ye schulen be as an ook, whanne the leeues fallen doun, and as an orcherd with out watir.
31 N’omusajja ow’amaanyi alifuuka ng’enfuuzi, n’omulimu gwe ng’akasasi akavudde ku lyanda, era byombi biriggiira wamu so tewaliba azikiza omuliro ogwo.”
And youre strengthe schal be as a deed sparcle of bonys, `ether of herdis of flex, and youre werk schal be as a quyk sparcle; and euer either schal be brent togidere, and noon schal be that schal quenche.
